Seaming - Mermaid EP

“Absolutely astounding four
track EP that is totally original and will take you to places you’ve
never been before. Her unique voice and musical arrangements create a
sense of wide eyed magical wonder. Seaming To is going to be a star for
all the right reasons”. Dean Thatcher ZZUB CHART

“When she sings, puts the rest of the band in the shade. A tiny
woman with a pixie haircut and euphoric smile, To only has to open her
mouth for her astounding, operatic voice to float out…Her singing is
beautiful enough to make you wish the rest of the musicians would drop
out of their groove for a moment.” The Guardian
